in hindsight, we've seen and writings of former obama administration officials and president obama himself, there is agonizing over if they did an injustice to the american people. the president sits at the intersection of dmesic and international policy. right. cia is not allowed legally to interfere with the united states. fbi can't do anything overseas. the president is the one making the policy decisions of how you connect the two. after the election, president obama imposed sanctions on russians. kicked out russian agents. shutdown known spy facilities immediately after the election. donald trump is now trying to take credit for those actions that happened in the obama administration. has been directed by congress to impose additional sanctions. has done none of that. instead he's decided to invite this adversary personally to the white house during the next election. by giving a former kgb agent access on u.s. soil. that is abdication of the responsibility the white house has. that is fundamentally what putin regime is relying on is the chaos of the lack of leadership. >> you're gett

barack obama's first midterm. democrats got shellacked. how many democrats fit into that category of few retirements in 2010? it was 11. so half the number we had now. go back to 2006, another one of those midterms, bush's second midterm, republicans got shellacked then. how many did you have? you had eight. so if you want to find a comparable number to the number pure retirements you're seeing right now, the 22 right now, you've got to go back to 1994. that was the 20 democrats that year who fit the same category. that was the year democrats lost 52 seats in the house, lost control. i think it's fair to say that what that number is telling us is that psychologically, that's where republicans' heads are in washington right now. if you look at that 22, there are a lot that come from seats that are potentially competitive. there are a lot who are looking at their first potentially competitive re-election race and say, i'm not in the mood for that after all. maybe i don't want to lose or raise a lot of money. i'm not in the mood for that kind

but president obama was right about a real hazard of early presidencies. the same thing did happen to ronald reagan and to bill clinton in the first midterms of their presidencies. in reagan's first midterm, republicans lost 26 seats in the house. >> ronald reagan was trying to be as upbeat as possible. still, it was a conciliatory president who met with reporters, one who talked about seeking bipartisan solutions with the new congress. >> there have been concessions and compromises in both directions, on all of the major issues and we expect to continue to work with the congress in that way. >> top aides admit, the election results were a shock. by white house count, only 50% of the candidates mr. reagan campaigned for won yesterday. >> that was ronald reagan in the first midterm of his presidency, 1982. eight years later, on november 8th, 1994, the curse of the first midterm visited president bill clinton, in an epic, historical loss for the democrats at the time. >> tonight, the sound you hear is the sound of a moving van backing up to the united states
